attempted to violate the child; he
was however prevented by the
unexpected return of the occu
pant. The citizens, indignant at
the outrage, took Coleman to a
proper place alter night-fall, ami
there anointed his body with
some two or three hundred lashes,
washed otf the carcase with spirits
of turpentine, decorated him w ith
a suit of tar and leathers, and then
sent him adrift.

ttTlie New York Evening
Star of the Gib inst. contains the
following card, to which, we in
vite attention.
A Card. -During twenty five
years that I have been directly
connected with the public press, 1
have invariably sustained the
rights, and supported the princi
ples of the Southern States have
always protested against any in
terference with their constitutional
priviledges, and decried every at
tempt to create excitement, or
produce unhappy difficulties on
the Slave question.
Kecent events in several parts
of the Southern and Western
States, satisfy me, that there is a
fixed determination among a body
of men residing north of the Po
tomac, to agitate and pursue the
discussion of immediate emancipa
tion, and thus jeopardise the safe
ty of the union, and the rights,
comfort and happiness of our fel
low citizens, residing in the Slave
States.
With the view of affording to
those residing in that section of
the Union, and also here, a chan
nel in the North, through which
they can be fully heard in defence
of their principles, their rights,
their attachment to our happy
confederacy, and, in particular,
their sentitnents on this important
and delicate question, I cheerfollv
open to them the columns of the
KVKX1NG STAB, in which not
only those rights shall be firmly
sustained, but shall be happy to
make the paper the medium of a
communication through which
their sentiment can be heard, and
their wishes made known to the
people of the United States.

.Murder. We learn from the
Bomney Intelligencer, that a hor
rid murder was perpetrated in I
Kandolph county, Virginia, a few
n'uhis ago, upon a clock pedlar,
by a tavern keeper and others in !
lus household. 1 he tale goes
lhat ihe pedlar w as hung up by bis
heels and bled to death by open
ing the jugular vein. They were
seen engaged in the act by a
wagoner who had requested per
mission to lodge at the house the
sam- evening but w as peremptori
ly refused he however encamped
near the house, and during the
night hearing the noise he was in
duced to return, where he wit
nessed tlie o nchision of this hoi
rid th ed. Gazttte.
jVcw Orleans. Leglike, the
man arrested at Madisonvillp, on
suspicion of being the munhrer til
Marguett, the confectioner, and
his assistant, who was found dead
in their chambers, and who were
at liist supposed to have killed
each other, was examined before
the mayor of New Orleans on the
30th ult. and confessed that he
was present at, and after, the
double murder, which hesavs was
done by some individual only
known to him by sight. This
stupid admission and attempt at
evasion was quite enough, and
Monsieur beglise was forthwith
committed for trial.
Origin of LynclCs Law. As
"Lynch's law" has recently be
come almost as general as it is
proverbial, and as the question is
asked a hundred tines a day,
"What is Lynrh's law?" It may
be well to relate the following
anecdote, which may serve as an
answer:
In Washington county, .Pa.
many years ago, there lived a
poaching vagabond, who, it was
believed, maintained himself and
family by pilfering from the
neighbors around him. Though
universally suspected, yet he
managed so adroitly as always to
avoid detection. At length a Air.
Van Swearingen laid the follow
ing trap for him, in which he was
caught. Having a newly-born
calf, he concealed it from his
neighbors for several days then
rode over to ihe poacher's and
told him that a young calf had
recently strayed to his farm,
which he had penned, and was
anxious to find the owner. The
poacher asked him how long be
had had it, its s ze and color, and
being told, said it was his, and
that it had gone off just at the
time spoken of. Being thus
detected in a lie with a design to
defraud, Van Sweariugeii re
proached him with it, and told
him he would give him 21 hours
to leave the neighborhood, adding
that if he remained longer be
would prosecute him. The
poacher only laughed at his
threats, while the latter went to
consult with his neighbors as to
what was to be done. At the ex
piration of the 24 hours, five or
si x of them repaired to the poach
er's whom they found perfectly
unintimidated. The party, how
ever, proceeded to try him in due
lonn, choosing one of their num
ber, a farmer named Lynch, to be
judge. Van Swearingen related
th
e oiience, which the poacher.of
course ueuieu. 1 lie case was
submitted to the judge, who de
cided that the poacher should be
I " ri i
lied up and receive three bunched
lashes, "well laid on," and then be!
given 2 hours to leave the place,
under a penaitv of receivinr three!
hundred more if ftmm after that
time. Tlie first part of the sen
tence was inflicted on the spot,
w ith such g )od intent, as to render
its repetition unnecessary. Tlie
culprit made oil as fist as his
lacerated limbs would permit him.

(TTThe public dinner given by
the citizens of .Mecklenburg to
Messrs. Leigh and Alangum, on
the (ith inst. at the Buffalo
Spring-, went off in the happiest
style. The preparations for the
entertainment were on the most
liberal and generous scale. They
were in every respect werthv of
the zealous and higbminded, de
termined and patriotic Whit? par
ty of that most respectable coun
ty. The Speeches of Alessrs.
Alangum and Leigh were in the
highest degree interesting and el
oquent. We hope to be enable
to give the particulars in our next.

More Murder. A letter from
Nashville, Tenn. to a gentleman

states that the body of a man of

some mail robbers having cut the

the next morning in the river with
his throat cut and his shirt tied up
over his head.
More Horrors. The Louis
ville Journal contains an extract
from a letter dated Cayuga, Aliss.
July 9.' The writer states that a
plot was discovered in Port Gib
son, to poison several families.
Two of the leaders in the plot were
immediately arrested, and after
hey had confessed their guilt,
were 'compelled to take their own
poison. Both expired in ten
minutes. The Port Gibson jail,
the writer states, is filled with ne
groes; and tdds by way of post
script, that 30 blacks have been
hanged in Aladison county.

The way they do things in Jef
ferson County. Warwick, the
murderer of Air. Fisk, an aged
man, both inoffensive and harm
less, was tried this week at Fav-
ette. On account of some tech-
idealities of the law failing to be
observed, the prisoner was dis-
charged. He had no sooner,
however, emerged from tlie court;
house, then he was strinned of his
clothing, and a plentiful coat of
tar ami feathers applied to him.

It is said that during the execution

that he was not afraid of such

the next morning, his timber was
also gone. A few days after-

the Town officers, stating that the
Old Town House was a nuisance .
to the place, and "must be remov-

of, but the next night, the house i

thereof carefully piled up on the!

a distressing picture of the condi
tion of from one thousand to fif-
teen hundred children, of ages
varying from seven to eighteen
years, who have been for a month
without vvbrk in Paterson, and
i who are thrown into this destitute
condition because they refused to
labor more than eleven hours a
day. We have seen accounts of
the overworking of children in the
manufacturing establishments of
Great Britain, and the effects of
it on their minds and bodies which
make the blood run cold. To
make a child of eight or twelve
years of age labor thirteen bouts
a day is brutal tyranny. It is a
most unmanly and unnatural bar
barity which not only makes a
j slave of the helpless creature for
the time, but which inflicts on it
an injury for life, stinting the

Dwarfs. The Wy ihe Argus
gives v';e follow ing account of the
family of a Atr. Michael Walters,
a pour b respectable citizen of
highly finished dwarfs we have
ever seen, or heard any authentic
account of. There are two males
and two females. The height of
the eldest who is a male, and in
his 25th year, is three feet six,
inches, and his weight, forty-three
pounds. The other male is in his.
ninth year, and is two feet seven
and one fourth inches high aud
weighs twenty-one pounds. The
eldest female is in her nineteenth
year, and is two feel eleven inches
high, and weighs twenty-seven
pounds. The other female is in
her seventeenth year, is too feet
eleven and one-fourth inches, hinh.
and weighs twenty-seven pounds.
1 hey are ol fine proportion,
and handsomely formed the
heads, feet, limbs and bodies all
very great in all persons hearing- of
them in passing the county. We
wish them every success we
think they merit. The curious
will be amply repaid, and the
benevolent will not regret the aid
they have given in raising ihe un
fortunate and helpless to coonpe
teoce anu) independence."
